Benevenagh Sunset

Sunset from the top of Binevenagh Mountain, County L'Derry. This point is overlooking Lough Foyle towards Inishowen in County Donegal. You can also see the River Roe meandering through Myroe before entering the lough.

 

Game of Thrones has used the location below where the image was taken as a scene for their filming.

 

Binevenagh or Benevenagh (from Irish Binn Fhoibhne, meaning "Foibhne's peak") is a mountain in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It marks the western extent of the Antrim Plateau formed around 60 million years ago by molten lava. The plateau and steep cliffs extend for over 6 miles across the peninsula of Magilligan and dominating the skyline over the villages of Bellarena, Downhill, Castlerock and Benone beach. The area has been classified as both an Area of Special Scientific Interest and as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The total area of the AONB is 138 km².
